    The Perfect Meal :: Warm Salmon Nicoise Salad

    September 11, 2017 /

      One of my favorite meals is a Nicoise salad because it has a great combination of goodies – great sources of protein – canned tuna and eggs, greens, olives and much more!  When my husband offered to make me this salmon version I was super excited!  In my opinion this is the perfect meal – especially on a warm summer day!  The recipe we found on The Wok of Life is really easy and took like 10 minutes to prepare (minus grilling of course) but overall, a very nutritious meal with very little prep work.  Enjoy!   For the Dressing: (You can also just use a yummy Italian dressing like…

    Slow Cooker Jambalaya

    August 21, 2017 /

    Our family would love to visit New Orleans someday soon, but in the meantime we decided to bring a little Cajun food into the house!  This recipe was found on All Recipes and is super tasty.  Plus I love the slow cooker meals because it just takes a little prep time and the slow cooker does the rest. Add in some of your favorite corn muffins and you are set!  Enjoy!     You Will Need: 1 pound skinless, boneless organic chicken breast halves – cut into 1 inch cubes 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice 1 large onion, chopped 1 cup chopped…

    Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Homemade Coleslaw

    July 7, 2017 /

        Can I confess something… I have never made homemade coleslaw before!  It is one of those things I would just pick up from the grocery store and never thought to make myself.  Well, today was the day we (my husband and I) decided we would follow a new recipe we discovered that calls for coleslaw and when he said “let’s just buy some” the adventurer inside of me came out and said “no, let’s try to make our own.”  Boy, am I glad it did because folks, this just might be the best coleslaw recipe you’ve come across!  Who knew it could have so many flavors and not…

    Nutrition :: Eggs offer a powerhouse of nutrition for the entire family

    June 8, 2017 /

    Summer is so close we can taste it! And while “summer school” often gets a bad rap, Nellie’s Free Range Eggs wants parents and kids to get into the kitchen and prepare delicious egg-centric recipes during its own “Nellie’s Summer School” this June.   If you’re not already familiar, Nellie’s is committed to providing better lives for hens, which means better eggs for you and your family! Coming from the first Certified Humane® farm in the country, Nellie’s girls (aka hens) are never caged and have as much, or as little, access to outside as they want.   You can read more about the company, their humane practices and differences…

    Recipe :: Beef Braciole with Egg and Tomato Braising Sauce

    April 19, 2017 /

      Using left-over hard cooked eggs….. I got a glimpse of summer during the kid’s Spring Break and I liked it! But, back to the real world and that means using up holiday leftovers, grocery shopping, packing lunches and making dinners that can extend into said lunches. My Monday night meal usually consists of some version of spaghetti and meatballs (due to my teenage son’s disproportionate love and adoration of this meal), but this week, I had extra hard-cooked eggs the Easter Bunny left behind that I needed to use. What to do? I made Beef Braciole in a Tomato Braising sauce with Polenta….this week’s version of spaghetti and meatballs.…
